His real name is Sathyanarayana Raju who was born in Puttabarthi on November 23rd 1926. At the age of 14 he claimed himself to be the reincarnation of Shirdi Sai Baba, after having stung by a Scorpio in 1940, when he started singing Sanksrit verses which he had no knowledge of before.

Sathya Sai Baba who was considered a 'demi god' by many devotees has done a lot of services to the people and his worshipers are present in India and even abroad..

Sai Baba, whom his devotees worshiped as god, was suffering from multi-organ dysfunction. He breathed his last at the Sathya Sai super-specialty hospital, where he was admitted March 28 with cardiac problems.

According to the statement released by Sathya Sai Central Trust, the body will be kept at Sai Kulwant Hall at 6 p.m. Sunday. The body will lie there Monday and Tuesday.

The trust is silent about the last rites but it is likely to be performed Wednesday at Prashanti Nilayam with full state honours.

The trust has appealed to devotees not to rush to the hospital and have a last glimpse of Baba in an orderly manner.

It was at Prashanti Nilayam that Baba has been giving darshan and blessing his devotees all these years.
